Welcoming the students and their invited guests, Principal, Mr Oliver Mooney took the opportunity to congratulate last year’s Year 10 students for their endeavour and hard work over their first three years at secondary school, and paid tribute to their teachers and parents for their encouragement and support. Mr Mooney said that the Key Stage 3 results for this year group were outstanding, including students achieving Level 8 in Key Stage 3 Science.
Mr Mooney extended a special welcome to guest speaker Cormac McDonnell, a past pupil of St Paul’s, who studied Law at Queen’s University, Belfast and who has recently opened a new legal practice in Newry, McDonnell, McNamee and Duffy Solicitors.
Speaking to the Year 11 students Cormac congratulated their achievements and reminded the students of the importance of continued study as a sure fire way to success in later life.
Head of Year 11 at St Paul’s, Mr Mary McMahon thanked Mr McDonnell for his inspirational words and for returning to St Paul’s, and wished him and his new legal practice every good wish in the future.
Mr Mooney extended particular thanks to Mrs McMahon, and her pastoral team of Form Teachers who mentor this group of students daily.
